Yes, I’d like to pay nearly $200 for shipping of a $30 thing. Or free shipping that will arrive on the same day.

    Yeah. A naive response would be “isn’t UPS big too?” But the shipping is only part of retail logistics. When you also control the warehousing distribution, and can back-feed logistical availability data all the way to the retail interface to affect what people buy in the first place… you have power that no fleet of trucks alone can overcome.
